It seemed many of the things I wanted to do were postponed or re-started with unexplainable reasons….I held strong and made lemonade, rather sweet lemonade out of the technolo-Gee lemons I was working with….I want to thank friend of the program, Anoushka Shankar for her time chatting about the new label, musical visions and the show this Thursday at the Stoughton Opera House.
